FAQs
What is the primary purpose of this rain coat?
The primary purpose is to provide protection against rain and the elements while ensuring high visibility for the wearer in hazardous or low-light conditions.
How do I ensure the coat remains waterproof?
Proper care is essential. Machine wash at 40°C with similar colours, avoid fabric softeners, and consider reapplying a water-repellent treatment periodically. Ensure all fastenings are secured during wear.
Is this coat suitable for very cold weather?
The coat offers protection against the elements and has an extended 100cm length for added warmth. It is designed to be layered over other clothing, allowing users to add insulation as needed for colder temperatures.
How should I clean the reflective tape?
To clean the reflective tape, gently wipe it with a damp cloth. Avoid harsh scrubbing or abrasive cleaners that could damage the reflective material.
What does 'PFAS-free Texpel Splash Eco' mean?
This refers to an environmentally friendly water-repellent fabric finish that does not contain Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances (PFAS), which are often scrutinized for environmental impact. It ensures water beads off the fabric surface.
Can I wear this coat for strenuous physical activity?
The coat includes features for breathability such as a vented back yoke and eyelets. However, it is primarily designed for protection. For very high-exertion activities where maximum breathability is critical, users may experience perspiration buildup.
What sizes and colours are available?
This specific product is the orange, size XS variant. The Portwest HI-Vis Rain Coat is available in other sizes and also in yellow, as indicated by the product's sibling variants.
Troubleshooting
Water is penetrating the coat.
Ensure all seams are properly taped and that the storm flap is fully secured. Check for any damage to the fabric or seams. Reapply a water-repellent finish if necessary, following product instructions.
Reduced visibility despite reflective tape.
Ensure the reflective tape is clean and free from dirt or debris. Inspect for any damage or peeling of the tape.
Hood does not fit securely.
Adjust the drawcord on the hood to achieve a snug fit. Ensure the hood is correctly deployed from its pack-away position.
Coat feels clammy or less breathable.
Ensure the vented back yoke and eyelets are not obstructed. Consider if the activity level is causing excessive perspiration, and adjust layering if needed. Open the storm flap slightly if possible for increased ventilation.
